The day after the 2014 Summer Solstice in New York City was beautiful: blue skies, big, puffy clouds, and a horde of voracious Instagrammers gathering in Central Park to capture it for all eternity online.
Mashable's first ever Instameet was hosted by two of Instagram's most prolific community members, @dave.krugman and @jnsilva. More than one hundred smartphone, DSLR, and instant film camera wielding adventurers showed up to meet in Sheep Meadow, contributing hundreds of beautiful photos to the #mashmeet hashtag as part of our seventeen-part scavenger hunt spanning the lower half of the park.
